Dr. Shaun Yockelson practices anesthesiology at Ochsner Health. He fell in love with the city of New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana as an undergraduate student at Tulane University. During his undergraduate training he became a volunteer emergency medical technician, and provided search and rescue and recovery services to the region during Hurricane Katrina. He continued his medical education earning his Doctor of Medicine from the Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, and completed an integrated anesthesiology residency and critical care medicine fellowship in his home state at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon.
